On Monday, SpaceX successfully launched the first human spaceflight mission that passed directly over Earth’s polar regions. The mission involved four private astronauts. Their objective was to conduct various groundbreaking experiments, such as taking the first X-ray in space and studying mushroom growth in a microgravity environment. These endeavors are expected to contribute valuable insights for future long-duration space missions, including those to Mars.
